And yet you rush here to defend yourself -just to be precise,of course.

I came here because I looked at my badreps and saw something about insulting a pregnant woman, which made me wonder of course, then I looked at Thanos's posts and arrived here.

Besides, about all of these contests which I say I don't care about, actually I mean I don't want to care about them of course : Slasher for instance who is quite new in this forum, I think, and seems to be genuine and look here, should be careful about how much hatred there is in this forum, it's nothing good looking at these contests when one doesn't like hatred. The best is to ignore them in that case. Once I learnt how much I was hated in Nadalfans's chat, I felt really bad about it, that's the truth.

The only moments when I've read you on GM were twice to laugh at me.

Then I looked at your posts and saw mostly sarcasms at players, at other posters, and so on ...

That's why I thought :
- that you're the kind of persons I know in real life who has a permanent sarcastic look at life, and from my observation in real life these persons have a difficulty to look at realities the way they are ; besides, my opinion is that that tendency has generally grown in modern western world ; finally I don't think it's an insult saying of people that they're like that, it's one kind of personality/attitude, and as I said it makes for good humour ;
- that my serious way of speaking is typically the kind of things you find ridiculous ; besides, you take part in Nadalfans's chat where I know how much hatred I get. And yes, I don't like when people find my personality is ridiculous.

Are you going to do your biased market again fast_clay? I wonder if you pick any non-Rafa fans this time to be on there

i don't pick anything... i just let the market decide...

right now i can only imagine that Sapeod, Topspindoctor, abraxas, buddyholly, Tommy Vercetti, Looner, pusherforlife and Hian would be on the fave's leaderboard along with perennial favourites Big John, Everko, Johnny Groove and Nole Fan...

You're getting pretty repetitive fast_clay. You made up the odds, nobody else did. The market doesn't see everything, it's you creating random and idiotic odds. It's time to shut the hell up.

there is no doubt i post the odds, but it is you and all the other posters on mtf that make up the marketplace... i am merely the conduit for how mtf is viewed...

it is not my problem if you have difficulty in seeing yourself as the clown that everyone else sees you as... so please Cabbage, calm down and accept your role on mtf as forum clown... after all, it is something that you are very good at... don't project your shame on others... you are a natural some might say, embrace it...

yes... indeed... some poor souls do not know what they about to march into...

in any case, i would encourage you to look at our MTF join dates... and so, i know more about tennis than you...

... and no it's not pleasant.

Why people like hurting the others like that ? I don't know, is it part of the tennis attitude ? Once, I thought that, yes, because many people including players compared it with boxing, but it was disappointing for me, I prefer looking at tennis my own way, it's rather something I use not to be depressed.

Fortunately I don't generally enter the "chats threads" section.

you would have to be weak of heart to see it as an attack... however, i have a feeling you are french, and so, you are forgiven...
